Miss Pennsylvania claims the Miss USA Pageant was fixed. And a lot of people have problems with the outcome. She says the top 5 finalists were selected ahead of time, and a lot of people believe have doubts that this was a legitimate contest. Now I don’t give out names, but I assure you a lot of people believe her. If I held a beauty contest I’d be able to prove it wasn’t rigged, so why can’t you? I sent some investigators to check this out, and they are raising lots of questions. There’s something you’re hiding here Donald, something you don’t want us to know. Several experts have examined the results of this pageant and they find something very suspicious about the results. I don’t understand why this has been investigated more closely, but I suspect the mainstream media is engaged in a coverup. I don’t take a stand on this issue myself, but a lot of people question the legitimacy of this pageant. It’s time for you to come clean Donald. ---

A subjectively judged contest may be rigged? I’m shocked, shocked I say! ---

Why can’t he just provide the documentation that proves the contest was not rigged? And why is the mainstream media not covering this story. Just a couple of questions that are being asked. ---

I’m not really that shocked…considering that the top 5 always seems to have 2/3 of New York, Texas, or California (wow, three most populous and popular states…) and almost always the contestant from the host state…just by coincidence, right? ---

He can provide all the falsified documentation he wants. I’m still _never_ going to believe it’s not rigged. ---

It’s pretty easy to photoshop a document. I mean, just look at the pixels- you can totally tell. ---

The idea of Donald Trump **or** a beauty pageant suing anybody or anything for defamation is fuckin’ hilarious. ---

Heheheh… coming from one of those “south of the border” places where the international version of this Trump schtick (“Miss Universe”) is for some stupid reason considered by the masses something equivalent to the Olympics, I would like nothing better than to see the whole franchise exposed as a vile scam. But we already know 50% of any given finalist is, erm, aftermarket parts, and we tolerate it anyway. So people may not care. ---

Donald Trump loves to claim he’s going to sue people. Rosie O’Donnell was one. The alternative is missing a chance to be on TV. Trump bewilders me. He’s 65 and he has plenty of money, you’d think he’d want to give some thought to not leaving an incredibly tacky embarrassing legacy. His buildings, most of which he doesn’t own (just manages), will likely trade hands a dozen times and be torn down to build new eyesores within a generation of his death, and he’s already laughed at more than respected, you’d think he’d want to spend what time he has left developing some kind of give back: Trump Park, Trump University, something like that, but instead he just descends forever further into the realm of eye-rolling punchline. Of course that would imply he really is a billionaire and has billionaire money. I think the general consensus is that he’s not a billionaire at all- he’s worth in the low 9 figures and the rest is on paper but corporately bound. ---

If you think about it, all the aftermarket parts in a Miss World contestant just demonstrate that she’s qualified. ---

I, for one, have no problem with the Pennsylvania State Attorney demanding physical evidence showing the contest was not rigged. ---
